No, specifying fallback addresses is currently not implemented in
strongSwan.

Specifying multiple addresses is supported, but it currently works only
for matching the endpoints of connection attempts to configurations.

rightid defaults to right, so if you have more than a single address,
you should define rightid explicitly. But as said, having multiple
addresses in right currently does not what you intend.
